Hurricane Photographed from Space

[Troy]

ASTRONAUT Douglas H. Wheelock has posted a spectacular photo of Hurricane Earl from the International Space Station on his Twitter account.

Commander Wheelock uploaded the stunning image which has been posted on TV and media outlets as the storm front gains frightening momentum.

That is one of the best pictures I have ever seen. It looks so perfect, you can see the wrapping that is occuring in the centre and much further out. It is a stunning photograph and it is amazing that an astronaut took that picture from space.

That is HUGE. It looks like it covers the entire earth... but anyways, yeah, that is so cool to see from space, you can see the eye perfectly.

It does look huge, it looks like it could swallow an entire country. Thankfully when that photo was taken it was mainly over the ocean. It is currently heading towards the coast of the US but it has thankfully lost some power during it's run over the ocean to land. Hopefully it doesn't cause too much damage when it hits land.

Still, awesome picture and that is what astronauts should do more of, take pictures from space to share with us common folk back on Earth.
